使用mailx和bash脚本解析邮件正文

Question

我正在尝试使用电子邮件使工作的某些部分自动化。使用mailx和bash是否已有可用的方法来提取邮件正文？

Answer 1

formailprocmail正如其他答案中所述，从包中可以很好地完成这项工作，但这里总结了我认为是问题的直接答案：

$ sudo apt-get install procmail

$ cat test.eml | formail -x To
 test@mydomain.com

$ cat test.eml | formail -x Subject
 hello

$ cat test.eml | formail -x Content
 multipart/alternative; boundary="f403043eea78e8658a0554677278"

Answer 2

如果这是由类似于 sendmail 的 MTA 传递到本地用户帐户的邮件，那么您可以使用procmail在传递电子邮件时解析电子邮件。

在我使用的系统上，sendmail 会检查该~/.forward文件，因此我将其放在 ~username/.forward 中

# pipe incoming mail to procmail
# ref: http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/procmail.html
# ref: http://porkmail.org/era/procmail/mini-faq.html#forward
"|IFS=' ' && p=/usr/local/bin/procmail && test -x $p && exec $p -f- || exit 75 #username"

然后，~username/.procmailrc包含：

# procmail tutorial: http://tldp.org/LDP/LG/issue14/procmail.html

PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
DEFAULT=$HOME/Mail/inbox
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.`date +%Y-%m`.log
SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh

MY_XLOOP='X-Loop: username@hostname.subdomain.example.com'
MY_RECIPIENT='mailing.list@example.com'

    | formail -A "$MY_XLOOP"
